Nadia Karin Waschuk was born on January 18, 1941 in Płock, Poland and died on January 16, 2024 in Toronto, Canada, peacefully, painlessly, and after having spent her final hours in the presence of her children. Nadia was predeceased by her parents, and in 2002, by her husband George. She was devoted to her family, to her children, Lesia (Andrew), Lewko, Slawko (Pedro), and Stefko (Christina), and to her grandchildren, Roxolana, Michael, Ruslan, Oriana, Mateyko, and Adrian. Her family will remember her with love, and she will be mourned by relatives and dear friends across Canada and the United States, and in Portugal, Poland, and Ukraine.

Nadia was a pharmacist by profession and a businesswoman by calling who founded or bought and sold five pharmacies before she ended her long career in community pharmacy working with greater stamina than colleagues who were decades younger at Shoppers Drug Mart.
